Barrier spray

A treatment where mosquitoes rest

Mosquitoes spend the day in shade, on the underside of leaves and along fences. A barrier spray goes there, so there are fewer of them in the evening when you're outside.

Where it fits

  • Yards with beds, hedges and fences to treat

  • The usual choice from April to October

  • Add a tick edge if you back onto a greenbelt

What we do

Four steps, every visit

  1. 01

    Step 1: Walk the yard

    We look at fences, hedges and the underside of decks, and mark where water collects.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Choose the products

    We tell you what we're using and why, and send the product list if you ask.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Treat the mapped areas

    Foliage, fence lines and shaded spots, in a respirator and gloves, following the label.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Leave a note

    A text with what we treated, where to keep kids and pets off and when it's dry.

Before and after

What you do, and what we do

  • Before

    Unlock the gate, put toys and bowls away, and tell us about any dogs.

  • After

    Keep kids and pets off the treated areas until our note says they're dry.

  • Between visits

    Empty standing water weekly. If they're back early, text us a photo.

Questions about this service

How often do you come?

Every three to four weeks from April to October for a barrier spray or a misting refill, and about every three weeks for natural oils. The schedule goes on the estimate, with the dates we expect, so you can plan a party around it.

What if it rains after a visit?

A hard rain in the first hour can wash a spray off foliage. If that happens, call or text and we'll come back and re-treat the same areas at no charge. Rain later in the week doesn't count, but we adjust the next visit.

Will I have no mosquitoes?

No treatment does that. A good one cuts the number a lot, most of the time, for a few weeks at a stretch. Rain, heat and a neighbor's pond all change it. If they're back sooner than they should be, call or text and we come back to re-treat the same areas.

Ask about a barrier spray

We'll walk the yard with you and write down the visits and the price before we treat anything.
